If you have ever been in a near-death experience, you may have seen your life “flash” before your eyes. I’ve asked several people about this. They said that it was like they went through their whole life in a second. That’s not too far fetched. Your brain likes to avoid stress, so that it does not have to deal with facing death. So if your brain was to think you were going to die, it would go to the easiest way to escape: memory. So when it comes close to the end, your brain turns on every memory you ever had.

The brain will also stay alive for about 7 minutes after you die, provided your brain is intact. So if you have 7 minutes and you can experience your whole life in one second, that’s 60 lives per minute. 420 lives in 7 minutes. That’s a lot of time and a lot of experiences with death.

I think it means that your current life might actually be one of those ‘lifetime’ memories and that would mean that you are currently in the process of dying. I think it’s a cool thing to think about especially because there is at least some truth in it.

I’ve seen a story similar to this. It’s interesting how if this whole thing. Me commenting right now is just a memory. And you reading this comment is also just a memory and you might be laying in the middle of the street from being it by a car, or even have been stabbed and on the verge of death and the only thing you can cling to it your memory of reading this.

hi i like your creepypasta. I come from Germany and am just starting so, creepypastas English to translate into German, since there are quite back in Germany the terms. May I creepypasta might translate into German and then upload?

That is 50%/100% accurate. How is this supposed to creep me out? No offence because the information such as – Grammar, Capitals and etc, were quite good. The only problem was the story-line. It may revolve around death, and the information was very questionable. In my personal opinion, I just feel that it was too short and didn’t give me enough time to get”pastied” lol

If you “experience” a new life every second, even if in your supposed “present” life you experience 420 other lives, you have to die at some point in those other lives as well, and so on. So it’s a neverending life loop, and that basically means that you’re immortal. But at the same time, your brain will stop functioning after about seven minutes. This pasta pretty much states that we are forever living, but only until your “original” life ends. But there is also no way to know whether or not your “original” life is really the original, because it could just be the product of an earlier dying mind. The more you think about it, the more confusing it gets. Brilliant paradox, I would put it right up there with “This statement is false”.

I have two theories to base off this:
1. Maybe we are actually going through our lives 420 times, but we don’t perceive it as so.
2. We see our lives over the course of seven minutes, but it feels like a second due to the fact that under certain conditions, our brains perceive time differently. Like when you close your eyes to sleep, but when you wake up it feels like a couple of minutes passed.

I agree with danatblair and Nick; I like the idea but perhaps some clarification as to why you’re telling us this, or maybe even adding in a character who is going through it may spice it up a little. *Shrug* But as aforementioned, it’s quite lovely. I’d never thought of that. :3

@ThatGuy
The whole theory behind the 420 lives is in 1 second you will remember 60 memories so in turn if you die and your brain stays intact for 7 extra minutes you would practically relieve 420 memories.

Looks like im not getting sleep.. .-. well i rarely do as it is but still. also by the way guys, for those who don’t get to put it simply pretty sure its saying right now is one of those moments (or possibly soon) when your dead and your brain is just going through the memory’s quickly to reduce stress.
